Upon upgrading a v5.1.X management card to v6.0.X, SMTP server information gets mapped to the incorrect setting causing email to fail after the upgrade. This effectively causes subsequent email notifications to fail if the settings are not adjusted with user intervention.

Additional detail: v5.1.X "Local SMTP server" setting gets mapped to "Custom Server" field setting for the recipient(s) you have (1-4) while the "Server" setting is still on "Local" mail server option for that recipient. No local mail server information gets carried over so the Network Management Card cannot send email since it is trying to use a local server which does not exist after the upgrade.

This has been addressed in firmware version AOS v6.1.1 and higher. We recommend that you remove any instances of v6.0.6 and upgrade to v6.1.1 or higher for your application. Each Network Management Card has an AOS and application file and they cannot be updated independently.
